    I have a KVM, the older kind, controlled with a rotary switch, that I use on
    several systems. The keyboard and mouse connections are PS2, not usb. If I
    switch to system C and have to reboot or power down and don't get the switch
    back to system A or B fast enough, then I sometimes lose all mouse and
    keyboard response on A or B or both. I can still connect to the systems by
    ssh.

    Is there any way, through ssh, that I can get the system to start reading the
    keyboard and mouse again? Is there some service I can restart or something?
    I'd really like to be able to reactivate the connections without having to
    reboot.

    Thanks!

    Hal
